Abstract:

Rasmus Rask (1787-1832) was a Danish scholar who, having devoted the earlypart of his career to the Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon languages andliterature, embarked upon a journey overland through Russia to India insearch of the cradle of the Indo-European languages. He was delighted torediscover the Avestan Zoroastrian texts preserved by the Parsis whichAnquetil du Perron had first reported on sixty years earlier, and furtherAvestan materials, as well as a lively Zoroastrian community. On hisreturn, he published, first in Danish and then in this German translation(1826), a thorough phonological and morphological analysis which showedthat, contrary to the opinion of Anquetil's opponents, the Avestan languageand its religious texts were neither a dim folk memory or a deliberatecoinage based on Sanskrit, but a very ancient language, originating inPersia, and an important member of the Indo-European language family.
